Shin Ohashi Bridge

Mon, February 28, 2011, by Muza-chan

The Sumida river passes through Tokyo over a distance of 27 kilometers, and there are 26 bridges crossing the river. I think that one of the best looking ones (probably because of the bright yellow pillars) is the Shin Ohashi (New Bridge), built in 1976 to replace a very old bridge, dating from 1693.

I took a photo of it every time I passed nearby, but my favorite moment was when I caught this barge passing under the bridge:
